Project Catalog

Hi Upwork team, 

I submitted the project on 6 march and second on 26 March but they are still in pending for approval. Please check their status and guide me. I'll be thankful for your kind cooperations.

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Ak,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Allow me to explain how  Project Catalog works. Firstly, we review all project listings, including consultations, before publishing them on Project Catalog to help ensure a quality platform that helps you attract quality clients, and we promote Project Catalog on client pages.

 

Once your project listing is published, the project will display on your Upwork profile. You can also share the project’s URL in your profile’s description and on your social media accounts for even more visibility. Your project’s overview consists of its title, category, project attributes, and search tags. The information you include here is your first impression to prospective clients, so you’ll want it to shine. Feel free to check this help article for more details. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

 

NOTICE:

We are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

Hello Upwork team, I want to know how my project catalogues can be shown on the first page of Upwork when anyone searches for my services like "Lead Generation"?

I have submitted a project for the catalog and it has been on pending state for over two weeks. Is there a way to notify someone to check it and get it approved or otherwise let me know what is missing?

Upwork does not provide a status update for project catalog approvals; you will only discover its approval or rejection when you receive notice that the review is complete.

 

Due to a large volume of project catalog requests, the reviews are taking a minimum of 10 business days. You can read more here.

Due to a large volume of project catalog requests, the reviews are taking a minimum of 10 business days. But you have crossed 12 days. Now, You can try reaching out to Upwork support through their help center or by submitting a support ticket to get an update on the status of your submission. They should be able to provide you with more information on what is causing the delay and how you can proceed. Best of luck!

Hello,
I submitted my project for review on Apr 9, 2023. It's still under review.
Can you review it, please?
Thanks

Upwork is overwhelmed with the project approval requests, check on the blog page. Allow up to 15 working days for them to review. It will take some time, do not worry.

Hello,
My gig status (early access program) is still pending, its almost 24 hours past. 
How much time will it take to approve?

Should I create another one gig? Is it a new function on UpWork? Is it available for the clients?
How the client came to know that this gig is published or available? How can he search?

Thanks
Shahzad

Hi Muhammad,

 

During our early access testing, please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed. 

 

If you create a Pre-Packaged Project as part of our Early Access Program, it will later be visible on your profile and showcased on a new marketplace page for clients. If you created a Pre-Packaged Project previously, it will remain on your profile but you will no longer be able to edit it.

 
For now, your client can visit the freelancer’s profile page, scroll to the Pre-package projects area, identify the project you’d like to move forward with, and click "Start an Offer".
 
Please note that at this time, we’re just building up our project catalog, so clients can’t shop yet. But they will be able to soon -- stay tuned!
 
For more information about all this, feel free to check out this help article.
 
Thank you.
